Stephen I ( Greek : Στ?φανο? , Stefanos ; November 867 – 18 May 893) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 886 to 893.

Born at Constantinople , Stephen was the son of Eudokia Ingerina and, officially, Emperor Basil I . However, at the time when he was conceived, Eudokia was the mistress of Emperor Michael III . Consequently, it is most probable that like his older brother Leo VI the Wise , Stephen was Michael's son.

Castrated by Basil I, Stephen became a monk and was designated for a career in the church since his childhood. In 886, his brother, the new Emperor Leo VI, dismissed the Patriarch Photios and appointed the 19-year-old Stephen as patriarch in his stead. ^[1]

As patriarch, Stephen participated in the ceremonial reburial of Michael III by Leo VI in the imperial mausoleum attached to the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople . There are no important events associated with Stephen's patriarchate and the patriarch, who acquired a reputation for piety, died in May 893 at the age of 25. His feast day in the Eastern Orthodox Church is on May 18 . ^[2]
